PEGGING-FJACK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 508,862, dated November14, 1893.

I Application filed March 1'7 1893. Serial No. 466,518. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, GUSTAV OLSSON BJOR-KANDER, a citizen of the United States, resid- .to be set up in positionin either single or multiple form upon tables, counters, benches,

or other convenient places, within stores,

. shops, camps, ships or wherever found useful and desirable, and hasfor its object to facilitate the quick adjustment or repairing of bootsand shoes on lasts of diiferent sizes mounted on a rotating base by asimple arrangement of parts that can be easily manipu lated.

With this and other ends inview the invention consists of theconstruction and arrangement of the parts thereof as will be hereinaftermore fully described and claimed.

' In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective :view of a counter, showinga multiple form of the improved device mounted on one end thereof andthe lasts as stationary with the jacks. Fig. 2 is a similar view of acounter, showing a single form of jack and last mounted on one endthereof, the last in this instance being movable. Fig.3 is a sectionalview on the line 00-00 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view ofthe connecting tubeor sleeve with.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in theseveral figures of the drawings. Referring to the drawings, the numeral1 designates a circular base plate or table, which, as shown in Fig. 1,has a series of jacks 2 rising vertically therefrom with lasts 3 rigidlymounted on the upper ends thereof and of varying sizes, the toe-portionsof said lasts being turned outwardly from the center of the plate ortable so as to be more quickly and readily engaged. .As shown in Fig. 2,the table 1 is provided with a single jack 4, having a movable last- 5on the upper end thereof.

In. each of the forms set forth the plate or table 1 is rotatablymounted on the counter the table 1 is formed with an opening 7,extending vertically therethrough and having an angular recess 8 at thehead thereof which, as shown, is of exact hexagonal form, though otherpolygonal or angular forms may be adopted if so-desired. The opening 7aligns with an opening of similar diameter in the counter or support 6,and through both of said openings ispassed a pivot tube or sleeve 9,having a hexagonal or other polygonal or angular head 10, that is fittedto the recess 8, to cause the said table and tube to turn together andbring the wear on the walls of the opening in the counter or support 6.The lower end of the exterior surface of. the tube 9v is screw-threaded,as at 11, and over said parto'f the tube is movably mounted a washer 12,that bears against the under side of the counter -or support 6, and whensaid washer is in its proper position a nut 13 is turned-on thescrew-threads 11 to firmly clamp and hold the said washer in positionwith sufficient yielding movement to permit the table 1 to be turned. I

A strap 14; is passed centrally, up through the tube or sleeve 9, and,as shown'in Fig. 1, may be caused to act with either one of the laststhereby causing the employment of only one strap for use in connectionwith aplurality of lasts,said strap always being in such position as tobe conveniently grasped and drawn over the last desired to be operatedupon. The said strap freely moves through the tube or sleeve 9, and theupper end or part thereof that is above the table 1 is not liable tobecome twisted, and is therefore always ready for use, and by this meansa convenient attachment is provided for holding a boot or shoe upon thelast While being operated upon. The lower end of the strap 14: issecured to a lever 15, that has its rear end pivotally connected, as at16, and at its front inner edge is formed with a raised ratchetengagingedge 17, that coacts with the segmental ratchet 18, adjacently securedto the support of the upper part6, and by which means a proper tensiononthe strap over the vices; and it will. also beseen thata double nut isemployed in oonnectionwith thelower end of the tube or sleeve 9 inorderto obtain an adjustment of the washer against the under side of thesupport of the table with its jacks or jack, and to sustain saidadjustment to such a degree as to suit the operator.

In the form of the device shown in Fig. 1

the table, jacks and lasts are integrally constructed, while in Fig. 2the last is loosely mounted on the jack, thereby illustrating thateither form may be employed :if so desired The strap is applied as shownin Fig. 1 to thereby hold the shoe or boot with the toe' against thetoe-part of the last, and by means of which nails or pegs may be removedor the a sole and upper otherwise manipulated as may bedesired. Theunoccupied lasts-can be used 7 as lap-irons for the various purposes'towhich the same are put, and by looseniagor disconnecting the table 1from its support the same can turned upside down with the lasts on thefloor and the table uppermost to form a steel that will be foundconvenient in many Having described the invention, what is claimed asnew is 1. The combination with a suitable support, of a table mountedthereon and having a central opening aligning with that of the support,a swiveling tube or sleeve passed upwardly through the openings of thesupport and table and secured to the former, and an annula-rseries oflast carrying jacks arranged upon the table concentric with the opening,said tube being adapted to receive a strap passed upward there-throughand designed to engage over any one of the series of lasts,substantially as specified.

2. The combination with a support, of a rotatable table mounted thereonand h'aving'one or more jacks eanryling lasts, and an opening throughthe center" thereof with an angularsided recess at the upper terminationof said opening, a tube or sleeve passed through said opening of thetable and through the (support and having an upper angular sided head toengage the said angular-sided recess, zawasher on said tube or sleeve,nuts bearing against the under side of said washer, and a strap passingupwardly through the said tube-or sleeve and above the said table,substantially.

as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as myown I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.
